Website Development

Fundraisers all over the world use the SOFII website everyday to help them find their next big idea. In order to stay up to date and relevant, the site needs to be further developed and improved. This will cost around £10,000. Detailed estimates can be provided.

Need

Fundraisers have the best stories to tell and the best of all reasons for telling them. But everyday it gets harder for fundraisers to engage and inspire donors. The climate for innovation seems to be missing in most charities. And nowhere is there a permanent, easily accessible archive of fundraising, which shows what works and what doesn’t and which displays fundraising best practise from around the world. That’s why we created SOFII - the Showcase of Fundraising Innovation and Inspiration.

Solution

The SOFII website provides fundraisers with an online, easily accessible archive of the best fundraising creativity from around the world. With a further developed and improved website, we will be able to share more inspirational stories and ideas and we will also be able to increase the opportunities for fundraisers around the world to interact and learn from one another.

Impact

SOFII is helping to change the way fundraisers learn, stay inspired and share their work globally. We already have thousands of registered users but with an improved website, we will be able to reach out to more fundraisers in the global south. Sucess will be demonstrated by a 50% increase in the number of SOFII users in the next year and in subsequent years.

Risk

SOFII is a low risk project. It is created by fundraisers for fundraisers and already has an enthusiastic following from around the world. With future marketing and development, SOFII's popularity can only increase.

Reporting

Donors will receive regular email updates about the progress of the project detailing ongoing and forthcoming activities. They will also be able to test new areas of the website and feedback to the SOFII team.

Budget - Project Cost: £10,000

Location

SOFII is a website and is accessible to fundraisers all over the world.

Beneficiaries

Fundraisers all over the world can benefit from SOFII. It's a place where, regardless of their age, location and experience, fundraisers can meet and learn on an equal footing. With further marketing and promoting, we would like to increase the number of fundraisers in the global south using SOFII.

Why Us?

SOFII is unique. No where else is there an online archive of fundraising excellence and best practise. In the past three years, SOFII has proved that fundraisers have an insatiable desire to share and learn. With support, SOFII will continue to grow and expand.
